As part of the rather lovely restoration of Marble Arch and its green space, the London-ocracy came together in committee, and I was on it as I was then working as Thames Water's Local and Regional Government Liaison for central London.
Thames Water was involved in restoring the fountains, which are switched off today for cleaning - two nice chaps from the maintenance company Conway kindly pointed me towards the plaque commemorating Marble Arch's re-opening, replete with a Thames Water logo (https://www.westminster.gov.uk/press-releases/2009-06/marble-arch-lights-up-the-west-end/ - I didn't go, although invited).
Even with the fountains switched off for a little while today, it all looks rather beautiful.
